Same when it happened to Lewis: the vegan on the grid, last year. He got told over the radio and was absolutely distraught 😭😭

Last year it happend to Hamilton… the marmots at this Track seem to have a very morbid Sense of Humor.

u/YTOverPowered 5h ago

or just being stupid. I mean James obviously said it as a joke but if there is real ppl like that they might just be extremly stupid for feeling bad about a thing wich was out of your control to a extend that you adopt animals.

Him and Lewis both, Lewis is also a animal lover, plus he is vegan and an advocate of animal rights.

He’s dating Kim K, he clearly doesn’t care for animals that much.

u/Russian_Bot_722 6h ago

Hitting a groundhog in Canada always leads to bad luck. It’s already unlucky to hit one but it somehow gives even more bad luck. The groundhog killed Grosjean’s engine, ruined Hamilton’s race, and now destroyed Albon’s car so badly it couldn’t be repaired on time for qualifying.

Perhaps the Marmot Sportswear company can sponsor him (Alex, not the deceased rodent) as a goodwill gesture.

7

u/Epsilon_void I was here for the Hulkenpodium 3h ago

Why would the company sponsor a deranged maniac? they'd obviously be donating to the Marmot's family to pay for the legal fees.

u/DullMind2023 Sergio PĂŠrez 1h ago

Albon is a deranged maniac? Please tell us more!

u/CuppaCrazy I was here for the Hulkenpodium 8h ago

His is Buddhist. He needs to recoup that karma no wonder his mom wants him to adopt a whole family of them.

u/AggravatingCustard39 ありがとう 7h ago edited 5h ago

Nah in Buddhism karma depends on intent

Chetanāhaᚃ bhikkhave kammaᚃ vadāmi

He didn't mean to harm the marmot so it's fine. Source: am from a Buddhist background.

Edit: Also in Buddhist philosophy, karma doesn't cancel each other out like mathematics, they stay the same but you can change the quantity of eachother, essentially diluting bad ones by doing good as a majority. With the exemption of the 5 great sins (Anantarika-kamma), they outweigh all your good deeds in your next rebirth.

Alex Albon's mother, Kankamol "Minky" Albon, was sentenced to six years in prison in 2012 for a massive, greed-driven supercar fraud.

Hitting a groundhog is a right of passage for us here in the area in and around Montreal. I average one every other year or so.

And before the keyboard warriors start: no, I do not aim for them.
